2. Install the test arbor in the headstock spindle.

3. Mount a .0001" [.002mm] indicator to a stable magnetic base holder on top of the toolholder slide.

Vertical Alignment

4. Locate the vertical centerline of the test arbor:

a) Position the indicator to touch the diameter of the test arbor at the outer end. Refer toFigure 4.82 .

b) Move the machine cross slide (X axis) to obtain the highest reading on the indicator.This will be the centerline of the test arbor.

5. Determine the center of the runout at the outer end of the test arbor:

a) Rotate the headstock spindle by hand and observe the total runout shown on the indica-tor.

b) Note the value at the midpoint of the indicator sweep.

c) Rotate the headstock spindle by hand until the indicator shows the value noted in step5b.

d) Without moving the indicator or rotating the headstock spindle, reset the indicator dial tozero (0).

6. Move the machine carriage (Z axis) toward the headstock six (6) inches [152.4 mm] to po-sition the indicator as shown in Figure 4.83 .

7. Observe the value shown on the indicator.

For vertical headstock alignment to be within specification, this observed value must fallwithin the following range:

0.0 « +.0005" [.012mm] (Outer end LOW)

8. If the vertical alignment is within specification, proceed to Horizontal Alignment, page 4-48.

If the vertical alignment is NOT within specification, proceed to step 9.

TAILSTOCK ALIGNMENT

- NOTE -To properly check the tailstock alignment, it will be necessary to contact theHardinge Service Department to obtain the use of a test arbor. When calling to ob-tain a test arbor, a Hardinge Telephone Service Technician will request specific in-formation, including the following:

Machine ModelMachine Serial Number

If tailstock misalignment is suspected, perform the following:

1. Check the tapered shank of the tailstock center being used. Burrs on the tapered shankwill not allow the tailstock center to seat evenly.

2. Check the spindle taper of the tailstock for burrs. If necessary, hand ream the tailstockspindle taper VERY LIGHTLY to remove the burrs. (#2 Morse taper)

3. Remove the tailstock from the bed and:

a) Check for chip buildup between the tailstock and the bed plate.

b) Check for burrs on the tailstock dovetail area and the dovetail on the bed plate.

4. Clean tailstock dovetail area and the dovetail on the bed plate with mineral spirits.

5. Replace the tailstock on the machine bed.

6. Install the tailstock dead center in the tailstock spindle.

7. On the headstock, thoroughly clean the spindle collet seat angle with mineral spirits andcheck for burrs.

8. Install a dead center in the headstock spindle.

9. Using handwheel “D”, Figure 6.36, extend the tailstock spindle 3-1/2 inches [88.9 mm].

10. Holding the test arbor between the headstock and spindle centers, slide the tailstock to-ward the headstock until the test arbor is barely held in position by the two centers.

- NOTE -When locking the tailstock assembly in position for the alignment checks, lockinglever “A”, Figure 6.35, should be tightened to 150 lb-in [17 Nm].

11. Lock the tailstock in position using bed locking lever “A”, Figure 6.35 .

- NOTE -The pressure applied against the test arbor should be sufficient to firmly hold thetest arbor in place, yet allow it to be rotated by hand.

12. Use tailstock handwheel “D”, Figure 6.36, to apply pressure against the test arbor.

13. Lock the tailstock spindle in position by turning locking handle “B”, Figure 6.35, clockwise.

14. Mount a .0001" [.002mm] indicator to a stable magnetic base holder on top of the toolholder slide.

Horizontal Alignment

- NOTE -If there are any problems with the horizontal alignment that are not due to thepresence of burrs, chips, or other foreign material, it will be necessary to contactthe Hardinge Service Department.

15. Position the indicator to touch the diameter of the test arbor at the headstock end as closeto the arbor centerline as possible. Refer to Figure 6.49 .

16. Determine the center of the runout at the headstock end of the test arbor:

a) Rotate the test arbor and observe the total runout shown on the indicator.

b) Note the value at the midpoint of the indicator sweep.

c) Rotate the test arbor until the indicator shows the value noted in step 16b.

d) Without moving the indicator or turning the test arbor, reset the indicator dial to zero (0).

17. Move the machine carriage (Z axis) toward the tailstock a distance of six (6) inches [152.4mm] to position the indicator as shown in Figure 6.50 .

18. Observe the value shown on the indicator.

For the horizontal tailstock alignment to be within specification, this observed value mustfall within the following range on the indicator dial:

0.0 ↔ +0.0001 inches [.0025 mm] (Tailstock end FORWARD)

19. If the horizontal alignment is within specification, proceed to Vertical Alignment.

If the horizontal alignment is NOT within specification, check for chip buildup or burrs, asdescribed in the beginning of this procedure; then, recheck the horizontal alignment of thetailstock.

20. Position the indicator to touch the diameter of the test arbor at the headstock end as closeto the arbor centerline as possible. Refer to Figure 6.51 .

21. Determine the center of the runout at the headstock end of the test arbor:

a) Rotate the test arbor and observe the total runout shown on the indicator.

b) Note the value at the midpoint of the indicator sweep.

c) Rotate the test arbor until the indicator shows the value noted in step 21b.

d) Without moving the indicator or turning the test arbor, reset the indicator dial to zero (0).

22. Move the machine carriage (Z axis) toward the tailstock a distance of six (6) inches [152.4mm] to position the indicator as shown in Figure 6.52 .

23. Observe the value shown on the indicator.

24. For the vertical tailstock alignment to be within specification, this observed value must fallwithin the following range on the indicator dial:

+.0005 inches [.013mm] ↔ +.001 inches [.025mm] (Tailstock end HIGH)

If the vertical alignment is within specification, the alignment procedure is complete.

If the vertical alignment is NOT within specification, check for chip buildup or burrs, as de-scribed in the beginning of this procedure; then, recheck the horizontal and vertical align-ment of the tailstock.
